Oh my gosh, I used to hear this song as a kid too! They even sung part of it on the mystery science theater 3000 movie! The woman singing this is such a player too! She goes all the way to Tipperairy to cheat on her square husband! HAHAHAHAHAHAHHA Awesome John, they were really subtle back in the day unlike now!

I liked it! What's her name? It was one of those songs that it fits in with your movements like a walk or a drive, but peaceful, also I was reading Madman#4 today (I'm behind) and I don't know if you know this, but you were mentioned as a great Artest now you know this still it's in print and people will see a Madman vertion of Rip!!

Great version! too bad we dont live in a society that produces real music anymore. I love the music used in the old cartoons!I was watching "Tin pan alley cats" again recently and its got some great tunes in it.They did a similar thing with "by the light of the silvery moon",it starts out performed pretty much straight and then when fats waller cat struts by they sail into a really spectacular jazz version.The arrangement was great,you can even hear an electric guitar!

Music like this makes me miss my days playing in jazz bands. There is nothing I've found like standing in front of a a live band, improvising a solo with musicians who know how to back you. A good rhythm section hears what you're doing and changes tempo and feeling to echo (or sometimes challenge) what you're playing. It's great!

Unfortunately - those years were wasted on me being young and lazy and I never took full advantage of them.

I apologize that I'm not commenting specifically on your latest post. I've been trying for a few years to get in touch with Robert Ryan Cory, who was a good friend of mine in high school. If you can pass this on and if you care to, he can reach me at jennyjuniper@juno.com. Thanks, although I don't blame you if you ignore this comment. I just figured it's worth a shot. Thanks again.
